This review is looong overdue. I've been to Silver Queen Cafe twice now and absolutely loved everything about both visits. It's located on Harford Rd just outside of the city. Parking can be a little tough sometimes but I've always managed to find a spot right nearby. I've made reservations twice through Yelp and it was a breeze. I would suggest making a reservation, especially on a weekend, since the inside is pretty tiny and there is limited seating. Their menu isn't extremely large like some diners but what they might lack in quantity, they make up for in quality. They usually have some kind of french toast special. The first time I went here it was a blueberry lemon curd french toast. It was ah-mazing! The second time I came here it was with a group of four. The server allowed us to buy a bottle of champagne since they don't do bottomless mimosas, but buying a bottle was more cost effective. I really appreciated her being so accommodating! The service here is phenomenal to the point where they remembered me and my friend after having come here only one time. I will definitely be returning! It's one of those places that mostly anyone can find something they will enjoy and it gives you that homey, feelgood vibe. read more

I drove from Nashville just to have brunch here one more time! That can guarantee the deliciousness of the food they serve here. I used to live in Parkville and visited Silver Queen all the time. Order any eggs menu and you won't get disappointed read more

This place was AMAZING!! I loved the ambience, it was a wonderful experience. And don't sleep on the food service, it was spectacular. I would go here again and again. read more

The food was amazing. The service was on point. Ambiance was very lovely My girlfriends and I went for our monthly brunch on a Sunday. There is street parking but not much. We parked out back on the bank parking lot because they were closed. Sundays is when you may have decent parking. Can't imagine during the week since street parking maybe hectic. I would recommend this business and will go again. read more

A friend and I decided to have brunch this past Sunday at Silver Queen. It was pretty busy but we were seated right away thanks to the reservations we snagged via Yelp! The place was really cute and cozy and the servers were all phenomenal! Everyone seemed to be working in tandem to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying our meal. In addition to their core menu they had several enticing specials: Blueberry Lemon Curd FrenchToast, Boston crème pancakes, Duck Monte Cristo and a Seafood Benedict. Food flew out at a great pace with definite quality and care. We were both drawn into the Seafood Prosciutto Benedict Special! It did not disappoint, and had a generous mix of shrimp, crab, spinach, garlic and prosciutto! It also came with a side I chose the Gouda grits, and yup they were as delicious as they sound! read more

I think Silver Queen may be my best favorite breakfast spot in the county! Firstly, they were so accommodating when my 9:15 reservation turned to 9:45, and my party of 3 to a party of 6. Let's get into the food: 10/10 Apple Crumb French Toast: absolutely delicious! This was everyone's favorite dish, and my family keeps begging me to go back for it. 10/10: Homefries- perfectly seasoned and perfectly crispy. They come with a homemade ketchup that's very similar in taste to apple sauce - absolutely delicious. 10/10: bacon- perfectly crispy 9/10 Blueberry Lemon Tart French Toast: just as yummy as the French toast but not quite as sweet. 9/10 Biscuits & Gravy: very well made- and the gravy reminded me of thanksgiving stuffing! I'm not a stuffing fan, but my stepmom loved it! 8/10 Shrimp & Grits: this is nowhere near your average plate of shrimp and grits! These were very dynamic- crab meat, collard greens (fav part of the dish), tomatoes, onions, bacon, plated with a tangy sauce to bring it all together. The seafood was cooked perfectly. 8/10 Biscuits & Gravy: very well made- and the gravy reminded me of thanksgiving stuffing! I'm not a stuffing fan, but my stepmom loved it! 7/10: Pork Chops & Biscuit Not bad but nothing to write home about! The collard greens were the star of the show. I can't wait to return! The place is very nicely decorated with fresh foliage and artwork that's for sale! It gave me hipster chic :) read more

Street parking and a few parking spots in the back... the place is small, but does not feel squeezed together. Nothing fancy as far as decor goes... basic. They do sell alcohol. Service and food was 3 stars. I ordered the crab pizza and a strawberry lemonade. Everything was okay, nothing excited me. Overpriced for the taste. Felt disappointed... wasted money. read more

We stopped at Silver Queen Cafe on our way back to DC from New York. It happened to be Sunday brunch, and it was delicious. Silver Queen Cafe lived up to its rave reviews. The owner(s) clearly love the place and the distinctive decor, the friendly service, and the excellent dishes are a testament to that. read more

Made a reservation last minute for dinner but they had plenty of time slots. Fair warning: they do not have a parking lot so you'll be at the mercy of street parking which after circling around a few minutes, a spot did open up near the restaurant. Staff was friendly and checked on us often. The inside is a bit small so I can see tables going quickly during busy times. Cocktails are amazing. The crab dip appetizer was beautifully presented and loved the side of veggies like carrots and celery that came with it. For our entrees, my bf got the special which was a fancy burger that was 2 smashed patties and sliced filet mignon on top of those patties. He did not leave a crumb. lol I ordered the fried chicken sandwich which was enormous and I could barely put a dent in it. I cared more about finishing my delicious cocktails. Would absolutely recommend. read more

A new favorite! While we didn't intend to come here for brunch that day, I'm sooo happy that it's where we ended up. I was planning on going to one of my favorite bakeries across the street, but they ended up selling out early. We were hungry and I quickly searched my Yelp bookmarks for something close by. The place was small, but very busy with almost every table occupied, but it was late brunch time, so we took our chances. Originally, they said the wait would be about 20 mins, but were seated soon after as a table opened up. They had so many amazing specials for food and drinks with a pretty extensive menu. It was hard for us to decide. We ended up ordering the Duck Monte Cristo and the Fried Chicken Livers, as well as coffees for us both. Both were fantastic, especially the Fried Chicken Livers. I am typically not a fan of liver, but they do a great job at making it luxe and decadent, where the liver flavor is discernible but not overpowering. A must try! The Duck Monte Cristo was yummy with a healthy portion of ham and duck meat. I loved the sweet sauce to dip it in. I also paired mine with their gouda grits which were divine. Their coffee is Zeke's and you can't go wrong with that! I heard other patrons RAVING about the Chef's biscuits. We were tempted to order some too, but we were so full already. Next time I'll be sure to order one (or more)! Also, service was perfect and everyone was so kind. Can't wait to try out Silver Queen again soon :) read more

Went here this past weekend for brunch with a couple of friends. The experience was decent in that the customer service was nice. The staff were overall nice and polite. The establishment was also nice. I like the wallpaper and the ambiance it helped create. I tried the spicy watermelon margarita with mezcal! That drink was very good. Unlike some places, they didn't spare any alcohol. I left feeling like I got my money's worth with that for sure, lol. Food wise, I had the chocolate chip pancakes with pork sausage, scrambled eggs with cheese, and grits with gouda. The chocolate chip pancakes were definitely delicious and some of the best grits I've ever had, honestly. From the pictures below, you can see that I didn't have scrambles eggs with cheese(unless that's considered scrambled and I'm just unfamiliar). The pork sausage was dry, decent flavor, but dry. We also had to keep reminding our waitress to bring drinks ordered, neither were drinks that had to be made at the bar just for reverence. However, she was very apologetic about it. Overall, I'd go back and give it another go. If also like to try some of the lunch/ dinner options they have. So give them a try and let me know what yall think! read more

This might have been a perfect brunch. Cocktails: Excellent! Food: Delicious! Service: On. POINT! It's one thing to look at a menu and say, "Wow, that looks great!," but how often does the actual thing meet or exceed those expectations? I'd say almost never. At Silver Queen, everything was at least as good as their menu promised. I cannot say enough good things. And I think all four people in my party would agree with this review. were 100% delighted with this experience. Dear Yelp: You should allow reviewers to rate something with 6 stars once a year! read more

Silver Queen Cafe is a true gem in Hamilton and Baltimore. The food is thoughtful, fresh and delicious. The service is attentive and personal. The ambiance is both comfortable and sophisticated. We had delicious fried green tomatoes, catfish, yummy drinks and a perfect kids pizza. Will be back soon. read more

Food tasted good and well prepared. Definitely higher end. A little above my budget for breakfast but nice for a special occasion.

Dinner here has always been a treat. Now with the bar, more delicious options are available for stopping in anytime.

Disappointed! The burger advertised as The Hamilton burger did not come close to delivering on the reputation of the Hamilton burger. The cream of crab soup lacked taste. Basically a white cream soup with some crab no seasoning! Very bland. Service as always excellent along with the charm of the small restaurant. Food did not deliver on their reputation. Disappointing! read more

My friends haven't mentioned they think I'm crazy yet - I went to this place for the second time in two weeks, but this time to try brunch. What can I say? Everyone loved everything they had. It felt as if we ordered everything on the menu - the French toast of the day (Blueberry Lemon Curd Crumble French Toast), Bacon Cheddar Pancakes, Oyster Benedict, Shrimp & Grits, Ramp Biscuits, Home Fries, Bacon, and Scrapple. The scrapple was so flavorful! Holy moly. I'm used to eating sliced thinner and more crispy, but the flavor was to die for. I'm also a sucker for all things lemon, so I was excited to hear the flavor of the French toast and I wanted to bathe in the sauce it was so good. That's a theme with me and the Silver Queen hehe. One of my friends was so excited about the ramp biscuits, being the gardener she is. She had to share it and I can say, it was quite delicious! And she loved the shrimp and grits and the greens so much, that she had to get a second order of greens to take home! I love bringing everyone here. I recommend it to everyone. It never disappoints. The music was also A1! Do come and enjoy yourself. read more

What a perfect little spot we found! Kelly, the bartender, made us a round of wonderful drinks while we waited for our table. Highly recommend her Bloody Mary. Kieran took such great care of us once we were seated. Everything was delicious! The fried oyster Benedict...five stars! The grits were also delicious for this southern girl. From the ambiance, to the service, to the food, our experience was top notch. read more

Great little place. Personal, maybe 15 tables, like my own place. Love it! We've been going several times a year for many years and will keep coming back. Creative chef who comes up with the best dishes and flavors. And great creative pizzas also. And a thoughtful selection of beers - since I'm still a beer man. Again, nicely done, Silver Queen Café! Keep up the great work! read more

This is such a cute cafe!! I ordered shrimp and grits and it was absolutely delicious:) All the others ladies with our party thoroughly enjoyed their meals as well. We definitely plan to return! Kudos to the chef and servers read more

Wow. Literally, that's my review in its purest form. From the Seafood Eggs Benedict to the braised greens, everything was perfect and I can't remember the last time I was able to say that about a restaurant. If you haven't been, go; if it's been a while since you went, go back. Our server whose name I neglected to get because we were so wrapped up in our conversation was amazing. She's a buxom blonde with glasses and she made our experience even more exceptional. The crowd was loud to the point of distraction, at times, but barring an asteroid wiping out civilization I don't think anything could have had a negative impact on our experience today. Bravo, Silver Queen, and thanks for the beyond memorable experience! read more

The pickle brined fried chicken sandwich was phenomenal. Also some of the best collared greens I've had. Immediate friendly service when you walk in. Cozy, tastefully decorated interior space with good energy. read more

Silver Queen Cafe is one of the best restaurants in Baltimore, hands down. I've eaten at the Cafe at least six times and can honestly say every meal has been positively memorable! Silver Queen is located in the super cute Hamilton neighborhood in Northeast Baltimore City. It's small, so reservations are a must (it's consistently packed) but it's a super cute, modern, artsy space. (THE WALLPAPER! Stunning!l Parking is pretty easy between metered spots on Harford Road and community lots. Their cocktail menu has serious game. There's traditional Bloody Marys (super zippy!) and Mimosas for brunch, but also some specialty Maryland themed cocktails. If you're going for dinner service, the whiskey menu is insane! We had brunch she was a knockout! I had the bacon cheddar pancakes with shaved scallions and house made syrup and a side of smoked gouda grits. You know that dance Winnie the Pooh does just before honey? Yup. That was me. My bestie had the apple crumble French toast and a side of turkey sausage. The apples were cinnamon soaked and the whipped cream was top notch. Thick, crispy bread. And you would never know the sausage isn't pork. So much depth of flavor. We had two servers taking care of us and they were both engaging, friendly, and super quick without making us feel rushed. The chef came to our table and visited many people in the restaurant. Really great guy. Magician with food. Everything at Silver Queen is really high quality. The produce is just beautiful and most ingredients are sourced locally. It's fine dining without pretension. A neighborhood spot worthy of a Michelin Star and a James Beard Nomination for Chef Jason. Go. It surpasses the hype. read more

Silver Queen Cafe is immediately noticeable on its Harford Road corner due in large part to its eye-catching side wall street mural and overall eclectic exterior. The inside is quaint and cozy--the perfect atmosphere for our group's Sunday brunch search. After being seated for our 2:15pm reservation, we're told that we have to get all of our food orders in before 2:30pm, when the kitchen technically "closes". This is a bit of a surprise to us, having not been informed of such a detail when we made the reservation. We race to make decisions, ultimately having to physically track down our server to place our order. The rest of the meal goes more smoothly. Our drinks and food arrive promptly, error-free. My spicy watermelon margarita delivered on the spice, less so on the watermelon, but was a refreshing complement to my vegan burrito overall. The burrito was perfectly pressed and amply filled with veggies that had just the right amount of fresh crunch to sautéed ratio texture-wise. The seasoning was a bit heavy handed though, leading to an almost chalk-like bite of the spice mix. The burrito could have used some more of the vegan cheese to help pull the content together. That being said, it was a well-consumed and enjoyed brunch entree. The rest of the table gave high marks to their savory and sweet selections. 4 stars for the service/ordering confusion and rush at the start, and some room for improvement food-wise, but certainly nothing to keep me from a return trip! read more

I'm a native of Baltimore and was shocked I didn't know about this hidden treasure. My family and I stopped by the Silver Queen Cafe for brunch one Sunday while in town visiting. Everything on the menu looked amazing. When we asked for recommendations and the waitress suggested the shrimp and grits for my wife and I got a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. The table decided to share an order of lemon blueberry French toast. Man ole man we were stuffed. The drinks were phenomenal and the food was delicious and super filling. When we head back home to Baltimore again I'll definitely stop by. read more

Cozy, cute with great food and friendly service! Will be going again. A reservation is recommended.

Review for brunch ONLY. Overall I wasn't a fan. In their defense I did order a basic menu option, but I'm usually expecting there to be some elevation or signature flavor to a meal that I am eating out. I literally felt that this meal could have been prepared in my home. Not only was it basic, the eggs were over salted and the included toast only came with 1 piece of bread. I've never only received one piece of bread with a breakfast meal. To make matters worse. I left the place with a stinch of old grease in my clothes. Once again, I have never left a restaurant smelling burnt. With all of that, I'm an optimist, and I am not against coming to try another brunch item or possibly dinner. I was just very underwhelmed by my first experience. read more
